Proposed Information Collection
Activity; Comment Request
Title: Evaluation of Adolescent
Pregnancy Prevention Approaches—
Baseline Data Collection.
OMB No.: 0970–0360.
Description: The Administration for
Children and Families (ACE), U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), is proposing a data
collection activity as part of the
Evaluation of Adolescent Pregnancy
Prevention Approaches (PPA). PPA is
being undertaken to expand available
evidence on effective ways to prevent
teen pregnancy. The evaluation will
document and test a range of pregnancy
prevention approaches in up to eight
program sites. Program impacts will be
estimated using a random assignment
design, involving random assignment at
the school, individual, or other level,
depending on the program setting. The
findings of the evaluation will be of
interest to the general public, to policymakers, and to organizations interested
in teen pregnancy prevention.
This proposed information collection
activity focuses on collecting baseline
data from a self-administered
questionnaire which will be used to
perform meaningful analysis to
determine significant program effects.
Through a survey instrument,
respondents will be asked to answer
carefully selected questions about
demographics and risk and protective
factors related to teen pregnancy.
Respondents: Study participants, i.e.
adolescents assigned to a select school
or community teen pregnancy
prevention program or a control group.

Prevention
Background and Brief Description
In 2007, there were 1505 cases of
malaria reported in the US and its
territories. Except for one transfusionrelated case, all cases in 2007 were
imported. Almost all of the imported
malaria cases could have been
prevented with appropriate malaria
prophylactic drug regimens. Achieving
appropriate malaria prophylaxis
requires knowledge and action by both
the traveler and healthcare provider
(HCP). There are limited studies on HCP
knowledge and practices regarding
malaria prophylaxis. We propose an
activity to better define the types of
HCPs giving pre-travel advice about
malaria, their knowledge gaps regarding
malaria, and their barriers to
appropriate prescription of malaria
prophylaxis.
All U.S. travelers with malaria
reported in 2010 and their healthcare
providers (if one was seen) who
provided pre-travel advice will be
interviewed by phone. Interviews will
take no longer than 15 minutes.
Questions to be asked of patients
include demographics, knowledge of
malaria risks, and use of prophylaxis
during their travel. HCPs will be asked
about their training, practice type, and
knowledge of malaria risk and
prevention. Univariate analysis will be
done to describe characteristics of HCPs
who give inappropriate prescriptions for
malaria prophylaxis. Bivariate and
multivariate analysis is planned to
examine the association between
various HCP characteristics and
provision of inappropriate (or no)
malaria prophylaxis. Findings from this
activity will help CDC’s malaria branch
with the development and targeting of
educational materials for HCPs
regarding malaria in travelers.
Information gathered will also guide
content of educational and review
articles to be published in journals most
often read by target HCPs.
There is no cost to respondents.
